The Krka in Bloom – an exhibition of photographs in honour of World Photography Day
On the occasion of World Photography Day, on Monday, the 19th of August 2024: at 11:30 am at Skradinski buk waterfall in the Krka National Park, the exhibition The Krka in Bloom was officially opened
Dedicated to the botanical diversity and beauty of the National Park, the exhibition presents enchanting pictures of rare and endemic plant species taken by talented members of the Photo Club Šibenik and Photo Club Knin.
The Krka in Bloom exhibition displays the richness of the Park's floral world, which extends from inundated meadows along the river to harsh stone outcrops and steep rocky karst areas. Each of the photographs tells a story about the beauty of the landscape and the adaptation of plants to the often harsh environmental conditions, which makes this exhibition a true poetic journey through untouched nature.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see pictures of the pyramidal bellflower, which grows persistently among the rocks of the Krka River canyon, and the multicolored meadow flowers, which cover the Krka and Čikola valleys. Fleabane or the Dalmatian daisy, known for its natural insecticide pyrethrin, will also be featured, along with Illyrian and yellow irises, Croatia's national flower, strictly protected by law.
The exhibition is not merely a collection of nature photographs, but a window into the world of the plant gems of the Krka National Park, including several Illyrian-Adriatic endemics, which testify to the wealth of nature in this region. These photos remind us of the unbreakable connection between man and nature and the importance of preserving and protecting the natural heritage.
Today, August 19, marks a historic moment in the world of photography, when in 1839 the French painter and inventor Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre presented his invention: the daguerreotype, the first photographic process that experienced commercial success. We celebrate that day today as World Photography Day, celebrating the medium that allows us to record and permanently preserve moments and scenes from life.
We invite all nature and photography lovers to enjoy the magic of nature as captured by excellent photographers. Take a look at the photo exhibition here.
